Mechanical wrist update
I have a long arm stump and require a wiggle free and if possible service free quick release wrist that features a hollow center area (which is where my pin / pin lock takes up space).
Road map:

The first version (crown type lock) was extremely simple, it was manufactured very fast and worked very well once one got used to the unique type of lock. I wore that Feb 09 to now and had no p… Continue

- I got my prosthesis. Preliminary socket, Ossur liner, Otto Bock 2-way-hand, Otto Bock standard hook, harness et cetera.
I put it on. I use the Otto Bock hand. Not two minutes after testing it (I grabbed a jacket) the hand locks down for good. The situation is interesting as it reminds me of a James Bond movie. But it does not unlock. I pull the cable. I pull it so that the word "pull" deserves the name. I'm a stringy guy. The Otto Bock nylon cable metal mount tears out, dismanteling the cable over a certain length.
The orthopedic technician has Otto Bock check the hand. As the nylon string is a general flaw that is not remedied by using more nylon, I go get myself the material to fix it myself:

Alright. Now I am testing the prosthesis.
